Creating a Device Group

Device groups let you manage multiple players together. All devices in a group share the same playlist and settings by default, making it easy to control multiple screens at once.

Why Use Device Groups?

• Centralized control — Assign a playlist once and it applies to all devices in the group
• Consistent settings — Volume, rotation, update interval, and other settings are shared
• Easy management — Make changes at the group level instead of configuring each device individually

Creating a Device Group

1. Go to Devices in the left-hand menu
2. Click the + icon to create a new device group
3. Enter a name for the group (e.g., “Lobby Screens”, “Reception”)
4. Select a playlist to assign to the group (this can be changed later)
5. Configure Advanced Settings if needed (volume, scaling, etc.)
6. Save the group

Note

If you haven’t created a playlist yet, you can skip the playlist selection and assign one later.

Individual Device Overrides

Even within a group, individual devices can have their own settings. For example, one device out of ten can play a different playlist than the rest of the group. Device-level settings override group-level settings.

Color Labels

You can color-code device groups for better visual organization:

1. Right-click on a device group
2. Select a color from the menu
3. The group is now visually labeled with your chosen color

This is helpful when managing many device groups across different locations or departments.

Next Steps

After creating a device group, you can add devices to it.
